GORRONO RANCH (7) Looked outclassed when 6th last start around here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Can get the job done. COMMAND THE STARS (11) Managed to finish 2nd beaten by 4L last start at the track and form has been improving over recent runs. Coming to a new trainer. Has the ability to figure.

Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 3rd last run here and has a good draw. Micah Meeks provides some weight relief. Prefer in something weaker.

At $5.50 weakened to finish 5th last start around here and dropping back to a shorter trip. Does take a while to get into stride. Hard to see it being competitive today.

Back from a break. Started at $11.00 and tailed off to finish 9th last run at Churchill Downs and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Respect the betting.

Jumped at $16.00 and ran on into 5th last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and was a debutant last start. Gets back and needs luck. Prefer in a much weaker race.
